Uh, I remember answering this question... but sadly in the Old page/forum.

There are no greatest FLIX by Paul Simon or S&G. And I doubt they will ever plan to release such a DVD.

The answer is simple, S&G never made any real video-clips. Because the first real video clip was made by QUEEN in 1974 (Bohemian..) and so they are a little bit to early :-) There are some TV videos out there, and on TV some advertisement use these videos. I think only 1 clip has been made later in the 80´s - Hazy shade of winter. But also this is only a clip made with some pictures of the duo in the 60´s (I´ve never seen it, only heard about it)
So no S&G video clips exist.

Paul Simon also never produced real video clips until Hearts And Bones. Everything before H&B are TV clips from Saturday Night live or Live performances...

from H&B I´ve only seen ´Rene and Georgette...´ , a nice clip with a lot of computer animations, but not really fascinating :-) Other clips from H&B should be H&B itself (also only a studio performance) Cars Are Cars (really doubt that this exists as only 1 person mentioned it ever on AMPS) and Think too much(a) - a mix of a live performance and some other scenes. All in all these clips haven´t been aired on TV very often and compared to other clips of this time period (1983 - 1984) they are really..ehm crap (sorry)

The big commercial success time of Paul from 1986 - 1993 also was leading in a few good video clips.

Diamonds
You Can Call Me Al
Boy in the Bubble
Homeless
Proof
Obvious Child

The last clip in that time was Thelma to promote the 1993 box..but I would count this clip to the real terrible ones ;-) Paul doesn´t appear in it, most of the time you only see things forming the word "Thelma"...Thelma..and Thelma

No clips for Capeman and YTO.
But surprisingly a nice video clip for Father and daughter 2 years ago.

So not much material for this DVD

The B&W ´I Am A Rock´ clip?

Yes I foroot Me and Julio. A nice clip (but hey, also cheap made) and a little bit strange that they produced a video around 15 years after the song has been released :-) LOL
